Nigerian man trying to set Guinness World Record for longest crying marathon goes blind

Tembu Ebere, a Nigerian man who attempted to cry for 100 hours to set the Guinness World Record, has gone blind.

In an interview with the BBC, Ebere confirmed his health status, saying he began to experience severe headaches, puffy eyes, and a swollen face from constant crying before going temporarily blind for 45 minutes.

While speaking of his determination to cry for one week nonstop, he stated that “I had to re-strategise and reduce my wailing.”

Ebere had a few days ago, in a viral post accompanied by a flyer on social media, declared his interest to embark on seven days of non-stop cry-a-thon.

ER had reported that another Nigerian lady, Joyce Ijeoma, had two weeks ago collapsed during a 72-hour longest body massage attempt in the Lekki area of the State.
